ANTI-WRINKLE INJECTIONS

'Baby Botox'

'Baby Botox', also known as 'micro-Botox' or 'preventative Botox' involves injecting small doses of botulinum toxin into targeted facial muscles to achieve a more subtle and natural-looking result than traditional anti-wrinkle treatments. The treatment uses minimal dosing and this approach aims to soften fine lines and wrinkles while preserving facial expression and movement.

Other treatments

As well as relaxing wrinkles, botox also has variety of other cosmetic uses, such as, correction of gummy smile, smoothing a dimpled chin, creating a tightened neck with non-surgical neck lift, jawline slimming and even reducing excessive sweating.

Most treatments: When having botox injections to reduce wrinkles, you can expect to see full results between day 10 - 14. Please note that results aren't instant as it takes a few days for the toxin to have an effect on the muscles. Results are expected to last 3 - 4 months, but many people report that it can last up to 6 months. 

Jawline Slimming: Results can take longer to achieve a slimmer jaw. After one month following treatment, the jaw expect to look slimmer for around 6 months. 

Excessive Sweating: Results can be achieved in as little as 3 days post procedure and last up to 4 months. 

Toxin has been used cosmetically in the UK for a number of decades and is considered to be highly safe. At Heyday, we use two reputable brands of toxin, both proven to give consistent results. More brand information is available during your consultation.

When you arrive for your appointment at our clinic in Sheffield, you will be shown to our clinic room. Our aesthetic nurse will answer any questions you may still have regarding the treatment and review your consent form. If you are happy to go ahead, the treatment will start. 

Your face will be wiped of make up and then cleansed with an anti-microbial. Toxin will be injected into muscles in your face using a very fine needle. This can cause some mild discomfort, but the full treatment should only take 5 - 10 minutes. You will need injections in different places, depending on the area being treated. We will ask you to move the muscles in your face to help find the best place for the injections.

After the toxin has been administered, the injection sites will be cleansed and you'll be given your aftercare advice. Downtime after toxin injections can vary dependent on the amount of toxin administered, some clients have localised swelling to their injection sites, which usually resolves after 10 minutes. 

It's important to note that you will not see a change straight away. It takes about 2 or 3 days to start working and 2 weeks to see the full effect. 

Remember, you will not see a change straight away. It takes about 2 or 3 days to start working and 2 weeks to see the full effect.
